Who Benefits from the Training?

Trainees in the Castellino Prenatal and Birth Training come from a wide range of professional backgrounds and skills. They have included
bodyworkers, polarity therapists, cranial workers, chiropractors, osteopaths, acupuncturists, nurses, medical doctors, midwives, doulas,
childbirth educators, infant massage therapists, regular and special education teachers, counselors, and psychologists. Many of these
practitioners were already doing some form of prenatal and birth work. Others were very new to this form of work. They all share a profound
interest in working with babies, children, families, and/or adults for the purpose of resolving prenatal and birth trauma.

Designed to teach or enhance your skills in:

Holding therapeutic presence;

Tracking somatic, energetic and fluid tide rhythms to assess and facilitate the resolution of prenatal and birth stress and trauma;

Identification of your own prenatal and birth countertransference issues so you can develop the skill of effectively translating the energy of your activations into effective and compassionate therapy;

Relating the client's present experience, behavior and emotional states to prenatal and birth imprinting in function and structure;

Recognizing prenatal and birth imprinting in body language, body structure, movement, personality and character structure in babies, children and adults;

Developing the client's internal resources so they may effectively explore and resolve early traumatic imprinting;

Recognizing the way prenatal and birth imprinting affects family dynamics, and knowing how to work with infants and children within their family systems;

Holding clear and effective therapeutic boundaries in the context of prenatal and birth therapy;

Using therapeutic verbal, energetic and touch skills in the context of prenatal and birth therapy;

Making contact with others from your own experience, and identifying and working with your own prenatal and birth patterns;

Facilitating babies, children and their parents in BEBA style family sessions;

Facilitating adults in small group Womb Surround Process Workshops;

Skills Assessment:

Click here to view a Skills Assessment trainees fill in near the beginning and the end of the training for the purpose of
reflecting on their own development.

Trainees begin with a myriad of different skills. Exercises, homework and small and large group discussions are designed to enhance those skills.
Some of the craniosacral skills are listed for the benefit of those who have already taken a full c/s training.

Module Details

Each training module covers a specific area of learning. The curriculum is
designed to give you an overview of the work and to build specific
therapeutic skills in a progressive and layered manner using didactic
instruction, facilitation skills and personal experiential exploration. Skills
for facilitation of adults in small groups and families in infant/child-
centered settings are emphasized throughout the training.

Module I - The Preconception and Conception Journey

Including the Polarity
Paradigm, shock imprinting and developing the internal reference
structure for prenatal and birth therapy are this module's primary subject
areas. Dr. Castellino will introduce you to an integration of energetic,
somatic, physiologic and psychotherapeutic principles which form a
foundation for the prenatal and birth therapist. The skills introduced in
this module include therapeutic centering, orienting, tracking autonomic
cycling and related fluid tide dynamics, modulating therapeutic pace or
tempo, identifying resource behaviors, recognizing the therapeutic
leading edge, and differentiating between trauma and shock imprinting.

Module II - Bonding and Attachment

Covers the bonding process from early prenatal through post-birth time. The issues of connection and
separation are primary themes as are issues of receiving nutrition and emotional nurturing. This module covers:

Prenatal implantation dynamics, the development of the placenta and the umbilical cord.

Energetic umbilical dynamics, and related movement imprinting.

Birth dynamics, the cutting of the umbilical cord, newborn self-attachment behaviors and the nature of the baby's first contact with her mother and father after birth.

The baby's ability to attach to his/her mother emotionally, at the breast and the establishment of healthy nursing patterns.

Specific therapeutic protocols for resourcing, resolving and repatterning bonding and attachment trauma and a means for establishing nursing with babies who are unable to nurse or having difficulty with nursing.

Module III - Birth Imprinting

Covers the vaginal birth process, birth stages, pelvic types, cranial molding, birth movement patterns
and an introduction to infant craniopathy. It introduces tracking fluid tide dynamics and tracking stage specific birth movement patterns. By
the end of the workshop, each of you will describe your personal birth passage to a small peer group. Your birth passage session will be
videotaped and you will receive a copy for your personal studies.

Module IV - Chemical Imprinting

Covers imprinting from anesthesia, nicotine, fetal alcohol and drug syndromes. We will look at the
effects of chemical imprinting on prenates and babies' psyches, their movement patterns, their energy patterns and the development of the
central nervous system. Specific protocols for resolving and repatterning of chemical imprinting are covered. A new theory is presented
explaining the way chemical imprinting affects the function of the cerebral spinal fluid system. Your understanding of the cranial / sacral
fluid tide system and the embryonic development of the brain will be enhanced so that you can use your visualization, energetic sensing,
fluid tide palpation, and bodywork skills to support the resolution of traumatic chemical imprinting.

Module V - Surgical Imprinting

Covers forceps, vacuum extraction,
cesarean section, circumcision and prenatal and infant surgery. You will
learn how to identify signature cranial molding patterns, movement
patterns and psychological impacts of each birthing style. You will learn
the cranial impacts of forceps and vacuum extraction as well as specific
treatment protocols for each type of surgical intervention. We will
explore the effect of these procedures on physical structure and on the
expression of the body's energy and fluid tide systems.

Module VI and VII - Life Death Loss and Double Binds

Double bind or
paradoxical imprints provide the most complicated dynamics in the PPN
field. Double binds amplify practitioner counter-transference issues and
complications for facilitating groups and families. This subject matter is
saved for the sixth and seventh Foundation Training modules because
the dynamics of these trauma impacts provide the practitioner with the
greatest counter-transference challenges in the prenatal and birth
therapy field. The curricula of the first five modules is designed to build
the trainees' understanding, perception, presence and therapeutic skills
so that they are more prepared to explore the effects of double binds in
effective and compassionate ways.

Having two modules devoted to developing skills for facilitating double
binds give plenty of space to explore the depth of these early
complicated imprints. Special attention is given to how double bind
imprints affects families and group dynamics.

Module VI

Focuses on ancestral influences and twin dynamics and twin
loss. Ancestral influences on individuation are explored to differentiate
twin and ancestral imprinting. Twin embryonic and placental
development are correlated with twin behavior later in life. Lost twin
syndrome affects on singleton behavior is covered. You will learn to
identify twin psychological imprinting, the counter-transference /
transference issues involved and twin dynamic therapeutic protocols.
Breech birth presentation is covered in this module because a high
percentage of breech presentations have occur during twin births.

Module VII

Focuses on adoption, previous abortion and miscarriage,
abortion attempts, traumatic impacts of death in the family during
pregnancy, stillbirth and infant sibling loss, A.R.T. (Assisted Reproductive
Technology) and NICU experience. The skills for facilitating double bind
dynamics are further developed and refined in this module.

Module VIII - Family and Group Dynamics

This module is designed to transition the practitioner from foundation skill building into a model for
family and small group practice. Module VIII covers:

The structural components for a process session both with adults in a Process Workshop setting and with families in infant/child-centered family settings.

Organization of BEBA: A Center for Family Healing.

Questions about clinical practice.

Demonstration session by Dr. Castellino including a complete debriefing which focuses on recognizing the principles utilized.

Each trainee will give and receive a supervised process session in a small group setting.

Testimonials

Trainees Comment...

"Ray's training has brought a deep level of compassion and sensitivity into my life and my work. Ray's ability to teach from a
learner's perspective makes the work easy to absorb. A kinesthetic 'knowing' seems to grow spontaneously. His work with babies
and families is truly awesome. In accessing the brilliant clear consciousness of the prenate, the birth work gives a powerful
resource for resolving early trauma."

-Anna Chitty, R.P.P., RCST®

"My experience of training with Ray Castellino has been both personally transforming and professionally rewarding. Through his
remarkable skills as a therapist I have been able to reconnect with my earliest emotional imprints in a way that has been
deeply healing and now guides my work with clients. Ray's teaching skill is to blend complex cross-disciplinary information
with personal process and integration in a way that is exciting, comprehensive, systematic, hands-on, effective and downright
fun. He models for me how to be self-honest, knowledgeable and deeply contactful yet respectful of boundaries. Being with Ray
as he works with babies and their families has shown me what remarkable potential there is for understanding what babies have
to tell me and how I can support their process of liberating the energies bound up in prenatal and birth trauma."

-Claire Leverant, Childbirth Educator

"The Castellino Prenatal and Birth training is a rare opportunity to be in the vanguard of the exploration of a mysterious and
largely uncelebrated frontier of human understanding. There is an exciting sense that one is participating in the birth of a new
body of knowledge and practice, one with far reaching consequences for the way we live. For me it has been important that the
excitement is not only intellectual: the knowledge and practice are integrated, and the trainee must draw on her or his whole
life experience for understanding a survey which offers fresh vistas and unexpected connections. This means the training itself
is transformational, yet brimming with multidisciplinary information brought together in a newly coherent form. Ray is both a
visionary and an extraordinary teacher who is passionately committed to a single process that encompasses research, healing,
and the training of professionals. His attunement and the format he has created ensure that the emphasis is on the process of
assimilation rather than content; in practice, I've found that means the knowledge is not something I must remember, but rather
a part of my experience that becomes available as needed."

-Jim Thomas, M.A.
